I'm 70 and I've used a push cart for 3-4 years. I'll still carry when I do a nine hole round, or in cooler Autumn temps. When temp get in mid 80's, I ride. The push cart is a bit of a chore of hilly courses and when course id soft/soggy. Aside from that, my shoulders, hips and knees thank me. And, yes, as mentioned above, make sure your cart doesn't take a lot of room.
